DUMBEST THING YOU EVER HEARD

[Jeanway 0]

I don't like to point out to someone that something they said was 'really dumb' but sometimes, I just can't help it I've been dumbfounded sometimes, almost speechless at the absurdities I've heard. And they get away with it. Especially people in authority and politicians. Heard anything, really dumb lately? Jim? nik? CaptWright? Fenriz? VaBeachGuy? Now I've got a headache, just thinking about this :P

Since I've worked as a customer service rep for both the phone company and the cable company, I've heard TONS of dumb things being said. I can only think of one right now, off the top of my head:

 

I was working for the phone company at the time, and I was trying to sell voice mail to the customer I had on the phone. I was explaining the benefits of voice mail when she cut me off..."I can't have voice mail." she said. I, of course, asked "Why not?" "Because," she replied, "I don't have a computer!" Duh!!!

I used to manage a restaurant, so I heard all kinds of dumb questions all day...

 

 

"How many pieces of fish come with the 3-piece fish & chips?"

(I heard this almost daily)

 

"How many pieces of fish do you get with the all you can eat special?"

(I heard this one almost as often)

 

"Can I get an all you can eat to-go?"

(you wanna come back when you need a refill?)

 

"Do fries come with that?"

(ok, let's see here... fish and.... what was that other thing?)

 

Then I also spent some time working in shipping...

 

"Can you get this to (state) by today?"

(yup, let me just go charter an airplane... it'll be around $1500)

 

Conversation:

"can you Fedex this for me?"

"sure how fast do you need it to get there?"

"Fedex!!!"

"yes, we have that service, when would you like your package to be delivered?"

"Fedex!!!"

"Do you need it there tomarrow?"

"No, I need it Fedex!!!"

 

Another one:

"Can you get it there tomarrow?"

(tomarrow, in this case being a Sunday)

 

Customer standing in front of the envelope rack:

"Do you sell bubble envelopes?"

(nah, they're just there for decorations)

 

The last-minute holiday rush:

"What do you mean you can't get it there for Christmas???"

(Christmas is tomarrow, everyone's taking the day off)

 

Person with no clue whatsoever:

"How much will it cost for me to ship this bird to Florida?"

(you want it to get there alive? Then don't mail the freakin thing!) :blink:

Uhura can clear up any transmission. Cripes, she could successfully open a channel to a pancake if Kirk told her to.

I'm happily self-employed now!

 

Of course, idiocy wasn't just reserved for the customers. When I was in shipping, we shipped something to Ontario, California. A week later we got a call wondering where the package was....

 

UPS has sent it to Ontario, Canada and it was being held in customs!!!

Here is a funny one said by my fourteen year old friend who will remain unnamed. When asked in math class, "What is 20 divided by 2?" she completely forgot the answer. Of course, that might have been understandable because she had just recently switched math classes and so might have been a little nervous.

[Star Trek Fan 0]

My, I mean Our nik?  When? :blink:

Look at RC's siggy.

[Jeanway 0]

There was a program on TLC last week called UFO's and the Bible - I had to turn it off.

 

The San Francisco law changing pet owners to pet guardians

 

When someone says "Please pass the salt" when eating an orange.

 

But my all time favorite was from a commercial. "What does it mean when a diaper gives off an ammonia odor?" The "expert" replied ammonia signifies wetness - I remember changing cloth diapers - usually if they were that wet they just fell off anyway.

Oh, c'mon! That's idiomatic hyperbole, ladies and gentleman! Hyperbole of the most ridicuous sort. Hey, if it made someone's sig, it must be good! There, you see? Poetry!
